Bangladesh Congestion Surcharge Implementation
Dear Valued Customer,
The port congestion situation in Chittagong, Bangladesh has been deteriorating in the past
weeks. All shipping lines calling Chittagong terminals are still heavily impacted, with vessels
having to lengthen the port stay in Chittagong from previous 4-5 days to now 7-10 days due
to long queuing at berth and slow port productivity given heavily congested terminal yards.
In line with this, please be informed that we will be implementing Congestion Surcharge
(EMI) on all imports going into Chittagong, Dhaka and Pangaon in Bangladesh. This EMI
surcharge will be collected at origin and will apply to all Chittagong-bound shipments that will
depart origin ports from 1st July 2016 onwards. The quantum is as follows:
Container Size
Congestion
Surcharge
20’ dry / reefer USD 50
40’ dry / HC / reefer USD 50
We will keep working closely with the terminals and port authorities on this matter in a
constant effort to alleviate the situation and continue to provide you the best service possible
during this challenging period.
We thank you for your understanding and continued support. Should you have any
questions, concerns or clarifications, you may reach out to your local MCC Transport
representatives.
